NZ winters, particularly in Auckland, are pretty unpredictable. As the cold snaps bite and the winter chills drive us indoors, our immune systems suffer. Your immune system is your body’s natural defence force, the cells and organs which make up your immune system combat nasty invaders such as bacteria and microbes. This leads to common winter ailments such as head colds, flu and sinus problems. Acupuncture is a great way to give your immune system a boost and prepare your body to stave off these unwelcome visitors.
In 20% of infertility cases, there is no known cause. This is incredibly frustrating for couples desperate to have a baby. While some may look to IVF and other modern technologies, more and more couples are turning to alternative therapies, either using this in conjunction or instead of western treatments. Acupuncture has had a long tradition in treating fertility issues, however, there was little scientific information and studies confirming a link between the practice and improved fertility. This is until recently. Now with a convincing number of peer reviewed studies demonstrating the effectiveness of acupuncture on fertility, we see more and more clinics offering acupuncture fertility treatment.
Chinese New Year of the Dog 2018 begins on Friday, the 16th of February and ends on 2019 Lunar New Year’s Eve on Feb. 4. The Dog occupies the eleventh position in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac. Dogs are honest, loyal and are true friends and reliable partners. A Dog’s most defining characteristic is their loyalty. They will never abandon their friends, family or work. Honest and just, they are popular in social circles. Everyone needs a Dog friend for advice and help. They are also good at helping others find and fix their bad habits. Despite how they act, they are worried and anxious inside. However, they will not let this stop them. Once they decide on something, no one can persuade them against it.
